Real Madrid vs Schalke, By the Numbers

Real Madrid will be looking to bounce back from their local struggles that has seen them drop 5 points from 2 matches within 6 days, consequently costing them the leadership with El Clasico coming up in just under 2 weeks. Ancelotti’s men will play Schalke, at home, in the 2nd leg of this season’s 2nd round stage of the Champions League. The reigning European champions won the first leg 0-2 in Germany and all signs point to them advancing to the quarter final stage for a 5th consecutive season. Real Madrid’s form as of late has been quite below average yet this is a game where they will be overwhelming favourites as they have a 2 goal cushion plus they are playing at the Bernabeu.
